Which Blend Oud sample to try first

From Blend Oud there are 28 samples in our shop. This guide walks through 8 of them using only what is on record: names, concentrations, note lists and tags. Nothing here is a verdict: the order is arbitrary and your skin decides.

The selection

Blend Oud Tupai Love

Blend Oud Tupai Love is on the list from Blend Oud. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

Blend Oud Corona

Blend Oud Corona by Blend Oud: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.

Blend Oud 7 Moons

Blend Oud also has Blend Oud 7 Moons. We have no pyramid on file for it. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.

Blend Oud Oud Sapphire

Blend Oud Oud Sapphire by Blend Oud: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

Blend Oud Rams

Blend Oud Rams is on the list from Blend Oud. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.

Blend Oud Sana

Blend Oud also has Blend Oud Sana. We have no pyramid on file for it. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.

Blend Oud Silver

Blend Oud Silver is on the list from Blend Oud. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

Blend Oud Oud Zanzibar

Blend Oud Oud Zanzibar by Blend Oud: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Give it time to settle before you judge it.

Also in this selection: Blend Oud Santal Pondicherry, Blend Oud Mirage, Blend Oud Joy, Blend Oud Oud Al Emarat, Blend Oud Oud Marrakech, Blend Oud Eterna Luz, Blend Oud Khoul, Blend Oud Ghazal, Blend Oud Teeb, Blend Oud Velvet Caravan.

How to test them

Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Test it on skin and not only on paper. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.

A decant of 2, 5 or 10 ml lets you wear it on several days before you decide about a full bottle. Two or three samples at a time is plenty; more than that and the impressions blur. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does.

Questions

Are these samples made by the brands?

No. They are decants: FragranceGems fills each one from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it. They are not official brand samples.

How many samples should I try at once?

Two or three is a good number. Wear one per day, on clean skin, and write down what you notice in the morning and in the evening before you move to the next.

What is a decant?

Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
